Amanda Bynes' driver's license suspended as she faces charges

Actress Amanda Bynes, who is facing trials in three car accidents, had her driver's license suspended.

According to records
from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, Bynes is not permitted to drive in the state.

Bynes is facing a drunk driving charge after hitting an L.A. County Sheriff's Department
cruiser April 6 in West Hollywood. After two new charges of hit-and-run
filed this week, her driver's license has been suspended, DMV officials
said. DMV officials would not state the specific reason for the
suspension, and it is unclear when it took effect.

The 26-year-old actress was arrested about 3 a.m. on April 6 in West
Hollywood. Authorities said her black BMW struck the rear corner of the Sheriff's Department vehicle. She was charged with driving under the influence.

She subsequently denied the allegations on Twitter: "I can't help but
laugh at all of you writing fake stories about me," she tweeted May 27. "I was not in any hit and runs. I don't drink so the
DUI is false." She pleaded not guilty through her attorney.

But the Los Angeles city attorney on Tuesday charged her in two separate hit-and-run incidents on April 10 and Aug. 4.

In the August incident, a motorist said a vehicle driven by Bynes
rear-ended and damaged her Toyota on Ventura Boulevard, LAPD sources
said. The driver said Bynes stopped only briefly, declared there was no
damage and drove off.

The woman told investigators her car was damaged and that Bynes
failed to provide insurance information or allow police to be called
before she left, Lt. Andrew Neiman said.

Bynes told investigators she and the woman mutually agreed there was
no significant damage after the low-speed collision, police said.

Neiman said investigators determined that the Toyota had about $800
in damage, and that the actress did not notify police or exchange
insurance information as required by law.

Following her initial DUI charge, Bynes sent a message to President Obama on Twitter. "Hey @BarackObama... I don't drink," read the tweet on the actress' verified Twitter account. "Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don't hit and run. The end."
